106 Pubs and Bars found in or around Young Vic Theatre London

The Campbells are coming, the Campbells are coming, right after they've visited the shops, the Palladium and Carnaby Street. Any place this close to Oxford Circus is bound to have the trappings of a tourist... erm... trap. It...

This place is exactly what you'd expect to get if you mix Carnaby Street and O'Neill's - a total tourist experience ameliorated by decent Guinness. Handy for meeting people - especially people new in town - but having met, you...

Although it feels like it's been there for years, this one is a comparatively new pub. A decade ago, Hall & Woodhouse took the wine bar on the site and did their best to make it look like a pub with a bit of history. So,...

Mismatched furniture, candles, a good selection of beer and well made food are all present and correct in this unbranded chain pub run by M&B. Atmospherically, however, this one fares less well compared to others we have...

If you go into a Nicholson's pub and don't find an opulent Victorian interior, you should be disappointed. But don't worry, you definitely won't be disappointed here - the fixtures and fittings are everything you would expect...

Something a bit different for Soho - or indeed London - a dedicated Blues bar. There's live music most nights of the week (with the add-on of a late license) but if the Blues ain't your thing, it's still a handy one to meet up...

Any pub called the Shakespeare's Head in an area as touristy as Carnaby Street would just have to be an olde worlde building with leaded glass windows and true to form, this one is. It hasn't changed at all in recent years. The...

Good, solid, traditional boozer. Plenty of regulars and an easygoing jolly atmosphere, consequently the odd influx of shoppers/tourists doesn't spoil it. An average range of drink and a comprehensive range of food is on offer,...

A sibling of Porters Bar in Henrietta Street, this branch on Poland Street is in a handy position to capture the drinking crowds as they journey in and out of Soho. The fare is decent enough, there's something for everyone,...

Part of the Davy's winebar chain, this is a wine bar first and foremost, but they do have beer in bottles for those who aren't appreciative of the grape. There's only one ale, Whitstable Bay, in 500ml bottles which gets poured...

The Red Lion is a fine old oak panelled pub hidden behind Carnaby Street. Despite a small frontage, it's deceptively large with three bars in total, including one upstairs. Our personal preference is for the tiny front bar...

The Mason's Arms is hard to miss - it's a glorious Tudorbethan facade, resplendent with hanging baskets in an otherwise nondescript terrace on a side street in Mayfair. Yet despite its visual prominence, the shoppers and...

The Social has been doing the business for ten years now, and the owners, the Heavenly record company, must be pleased that London still loves their mix of food, music and drinking. They claim to have successfully launched over...

There are a one or two pubs in the West End that aren't the usual tourist traps, theme pubs or restaurants in disguise you get in these parts - they're just good, honest pubs that would be a delight for any discerning pubgoer...

Rather than celebrating the life of the newsreader (Jon) famed for his garish ties, this Victorian pub in the heart of Soho is named after the doctor who established that cholera was a waterborne disease - and nothing to do...

Given the location, it should come as no surprise that the White Horse tends to be crowded with people from nearby offices, which means of course, primarily people from the agencies, production companies and facilities houses,...

This is a jolly decent little boozer that's ideal for a quick drink or a longer session (space permitting). Sporting not much more than a jukebox and a small TV, the pub has a great deal more character than many of the more...

A decent enough West End pub that caters for after work drinkers and tourists who've taken a wrong turning for Hamley's or Carnaby Street. Like many pubs in the area, it can get pretty heaving towards the end of the week so you...

Formerly known as the Gluepot, the George was once the favourite watering hole of the BBC Orchestra when Henry Wood was its conductor, and the Queens Hall (now the St. George's Hotel) was still in existence. We have, though,...

Same standard A.B.O. fare, blah blah blah. A zero-inspiration 'boozer-in-a-box' product to be brought to market and exploited until death. However given the location of this pub, it is actually rather good. Top of Regent Street...

No longer a mock Horror pub, the test-tube cocktails and Gothic furnishings have been cleared aside as part of a Geronimo pubs refit, as has the old name. And, as you'd expect, the new pub's furnishings are soft, the feel...

This gay pub in Soho isn't bad at all, being more trad pub, than trendy bar. Selection of beer is nothing to shout about, but what they do have is well kept. Guess it gets busy on weekends, but can be a good place to go for a...

If you're worn out by the shopping hordes of Oxford Street and need a drink, the Champion is a good place to go. It's a beautifully appointed pub with a lovely exterior and fantastic champion-themed stained glass windows. It...

A late Victorian pub it may be, but this one is starting to look a little frayed around the edges. The bar staff are pleasant and efficient but there's not that great a range of choices on offer and the overall this pub still...
